Went into Emporia to get feed, oats and sunflower seeds for the chickens at Bluestem this morning. Usually Bluestem is full of men on Saturday morning so was shopping for a single cowboy too. Didn’t find a cowboy but found a helpful clerk that loaded my flat cart and pushed it to the car and unloaded it for me.
Stopped and got a few groceries and then decided to stop by the kids and see the grandkids. They decided to come home with me. Good thing I brought them as their mom got called in to work this afternoon.
They have been eating non-stop since they got here. Ellexia fixed them both some scrambled eggs, they ate a can of Pringles, a bag of popcorn and apples with peanut butter. Betting they will be hungry again in two hours or so. I should have picked up a few more things at the grocery store.
ET is showing at the Strong City theatre this evening. Not sure if the grandkids are going with me or if they will want to go home before that. They decided not to spend the night as Tagen wants to watch football tomorrow and I don’t have a TV.
Need to think of something fun we can do together this afternoon. When they get bored they seem to find trouble – or it finds them! It is a beautiful fall day out today so we may go take a long walk.
As I was typing I remembered the free tour bus ride at the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve so we hurried over and took the ride. The bison were up close to the road today so we got a good view of them. The kids enjoyed the ride although I think they were glad when it ended. It is so nice out today it was good to get out and enjoy the day.
We stopped at Subway on the way home for a snack. It had been two hours since they had eaten and they were starving. I forget how much they can eat.
They have decided to go home this afternoon. Michelle is at work and Tim gets home at 4:00 so I will take them to him then. They have been a nice diversion for me today. Glad I stopped to pick them up.
Nothing on my calendar for tomorrow. I’ll need to do some normal chores but will have the rest of the day free. It is to be nice again tomorrow so want to come up with something fun to do.
Grateful for the chance to see the bison up close and personal today, grateful for my grandchildren, and grateful for this beautiful fall day.
